Gwen and Saints ‘go marching in’?

Betting giant TAB has come up with a ‘saintly’ AFL/Greys offer that St Kilda fans hope doesn’t turn ‘devilish’!

The ‘Saturday night special’ is $5.50 for St Kilda to beat Melbourne and Aston Gwen to win at The Meadows.

The Saints are 8th and Demons 3^rd on the AFL ladder leading into their Round 2 clash.

Meanwhile, the Ben Magri trained Aston Gwen – who had no luck in last week’s G2 Shepparton Cup – is chasing her 16^th win. She’s also won four from eight at The Meadows.

The versatile Aston Gwen won the G2 Laurels Classic (515m) at Sandown in December last year. And she was a finalist in the G1 Rookie Rebel (600m) at The Meadows last month.

Bounce down for the Saints vs Demons clash at Marvel Stadium is 7.25pm, while Aston Gwen is in Race 8 Box 7 at 9.00pm.

WATCH: Frontrunning Aston Lavinia (2) makes it a successive metropolitan ‘hat-trick’ claiming a Launching Pad heat in 29.48sec at Sandown.
